So, she spends the entire episode going back and forth on whether or not she should tell him.
See, Grace, a.k.a.
Luckily, the team figures out Grace is going after her and finds her first.

Furthermore, it turns out that she didnt mean to kill Graces parents.
Her power accidentally activated when she touched the ATM and thats what caused the explosion that killed them.
Unfortunately, she didnt realize that someone actually got her in the explosion.
In the wake of the attack, Vickies husband and daughter turn on her because she kept the secret.
When you do that, you rob those people of making their own decisions, he says.
And Ive never been prouder of our boy!
In the end, Barrys right, too, because Vickies daughter forgives her after she apologizes for lying.
He manages to decode her entire journal, but that doesnt do a thing really.
In classicSherlock-style, he runs through the evidence and recaps everythingwealready knew.
Everyone on the team is shocked beyond belief.
The most affecting reaction, though, comes from Barry, of course.
Without saying a word, he throws his daughter into the pipeline.
Dad, Im sorry I lied to you, pleads Nora from her cell.
So am I, says Barry coldly before turning his back on her and walking away.
In terms of the emotional impact of the reveal, the episode definitely hit it out of the park.
Barrys speechless reaction feels very real and true to the character.
He had a similar reaction when he began to suspect that Harrison Wells killed his mother.
Beforeconfronting Wells in season 1, he simply just gave him the cold shoulder for multiple episodes.
Being with somebody has never felt so easy.
Well have to wait and see what he decides.
